About Devilry. Why people love it.

We focus on making it efficient and easy to provide
feedback to students. This lets teachers/correctors focus on giving
good feedback instead of other administrative tasks. We provide a
minimalistic user interface for students, where they upload deliveries,
and view feedback, and a sleek and intuitive user interface for
course administrators and higher level administrators.

Devilry is designed with higher education in mind. This means that
we do not cluttre the system with any of those artifical and uneeded
constructs, like classrooms or folders. Instead, we try to give each
user the shortest and most intuitive path to perform their tasks.

The system can handle all kinds of deliveries
from source code to essays. On top a simple and easy-to-use delivery
layer Devilry provides a sophisticated interface for examiners and
teaching assistants to manage students and deliveries directly in their favorite
browser. Course administrators are given a focused interface to be able
to easily manage all formalities around course management, from task
deadlines to exam lists.

Devilry started out in 2008 by a group of students at the Department
of Informatics, University of Oslo with a vision to improve the current
solutions around deliveries of obligatory assignments. It is currently
the main delivery management system used at the Department of
Informatics, UiO with plans of expanding to span across all departments
at the The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, UiO.
